Shonda Rhimes pays tribute to Bill Withers for providing the soundtrack to Scandal

"The music of Bill Withers gave so much to the world and personally, so much to the soundtrack of #Scandal," Rhimes tweeted of the soul icon, who died this week at age 81. "Meeting him was an honor. Being allowed to use his music on our show was beyond measure." In 2018, Scandal music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas said her use of Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" in a Season 3 Olivia-Fitz love scene was one of her favorite moments from the ABC drama.
